We had this last night with pan fried duck with ginger and garlic - thanks Georgie - a perfect match with this wine. Blue and black fruits with earth and minerality. A medium to full bodied palate. I normally have a Burgundy with Duck but I wanted to have this aged Carignan/Grenache. One of my favourite wine styles. The five of us who drank this wine all visited Clos Mogador in early June this year where we had a tasting and tour and I bought this aged bottle from their cellar. Still had at least 5 more years in front of it.

Splendid velvety wine. Lovely soft red fruits. Mature but should be enjoyable for several years.
